Learning has never been so easy!
I ran a repair on XP and after the repair I got a message saying that I needed to activate windows before I can log in.Choosing 'No' would send be back to the login screen and choosing 'Yes' would begin to load Windows, but only as far as showing me the desktop with no icons.
I was able to fix this problem by starting the PC in safe mode with command prompt. I then typed 'explorer' into the command prompt to load Windows. Next I clicked on 'Start' - 'Run' and in the 'Run' box I typed
'Rundll32.exe syssetup,SetupOobeBnk'. This extended my activation to 30 days. Even though this extended my activation period, I was still unable to get the activation program to start up.
'Rundll32.exe syssetup,SetupOobeBnk'. This extended my activation to 30 days. Even though this extended my activation period, I was still unable to get the activation program to start up.
I fixed that by going into 'regedit' and searching for the 'wpaevents' folder. I then changed the permissions to include 'User' for 'Full control'. I also went to my c: drive and changed the permissions to include 'User', 'Administrator', and 'System' for 'Full control'. I rebooted the machine and then was able to run Windows activation.
I got all my info from:

6 Steps total
Step 1: Start the PC into Safe mode with command prompt
Power on the PC and press F8 right before Windows begins to load. Select 'Safe mode with command prompt'
Step 2: Run Explorer from the Command prompt to start Windows
Once the Command prompt loads, type in 'explorer' to start Windows within Safe mode.
Step 3: Run 'Rundll32.exe syssetup,SetupOobeBnk' from the 'Run' box.
Now click on 'Start' and in the 'Run' box type
'Rundll32.exe syssetup,SetupOobeBnk'. Press Enter. This will re-set activation to 30 days
'Rundll32.exe syssetup,SetupOobeBnk'. Press Enter. This will re-set activation to 30 days
Step 4: Modify the wpaevents folder in the Registry.
Once more, click on 'Start' then go to the 'Run' box and type in 'Regedit'. Make sure that in Regedit you are highlighting 'My Computer' at the very top. Now go up to 'Edit' then 'Find' and type in 'wpaevents' then press Enter. Right click on the 'wpaevents' folder and go down to 'Permissions'. Highlight 'User' and place a check mark in the box labeled 'full control'. Click 'Apply' and exit regedit.
Step 5: Modify the C: drives permissions.
Now double click 'My Computer'. Right click the C: drive and go down to 'Properties'. Now click on the 'Security' tab and modify 'User', 'Administrator', and 'System' so that they all have 'Full control'. Click 'Apply' and reboot the PC.
Step 6: Run Windows activation
Now Windows activation will run and the PC will become usable again.
This How-to is intended to assist in recovering a PC from a faulty repair install. It is not a tutorial on bypassing / extending the Windows activation grace period. I don't condone piracy, but I also don't believe in locking a user from their data with faulty control mechanisms.

- JalapenoBB8771 Mar 25, 2013 at 12:06amAaarrgh. I was so hopeful, because this post added the permissions steps, but when I do as described, the login after saying 'yes' to activation just shows the wallpaper forever[Update] I left the PC on the wallpaper, no Explorer, no icons all night long and discovered the PC must've logged-off or rebooted during the night. When I logged-on this next time, the expected Windows Activation screen greeted me and I was able to successfully activate!
- Pimientopvdchris Apr 28, 2013 at 06:59pmI used this method, and still get the wallpaper screen forever. I am working to recover an old computer which has had it's ethernet controller fail, as well as the internal wi-fi. I have attached a USB wi-fi adapter, and run the installation software in safemode. When I reboot, I still get the 'This copy of Windows must be activated with Microsoft before you can log on. Do you want to activate Windows now?' Right back to the wallpaper.This is the result of a Windows Repair, XP Home Edition SP3 Build 2600.xpsp.080413-2111I have verified with Microsoft that the software is a legal copy, but they want $180 to talk me through validation.Thanks for any further suggestions

New installations of Windows XP SP3 will give users the same grace period of 30 days currently offers Windows Vista customers before they are required to enter a product activation key, the 25-character code that proves the copy is legitimate. - “As in Windows Xp Activator Sp3, SP2 and Windows Vista, users can now complete operating system installation without providing a product key during a full, integrated installation of Windows Xp Activator Sp3,” the Microsoft paper stated. “The operating system will prompt the user for a product key later as part of Genuine Advantage”.
- With earlier versions of Windows Xp Activator Sp3 , users must enter the activation key during the installation process itself; By not doing so, or using a valid key, would lead to the installation being blocked.
